We’ve been on dollar watch for a couple weeks now, as it loses ground against virtually every asset on the planet. In this graph, we can see that the Dollar Index chart has been declining since late-May, and has now sunk below the near-term support (yellow line) on its third attempt. The Dollar Index, however, only really shows the U.S. dollar’s place within the currency markets. In fact, the purchasing power of all fiat currencies has been falling steadily for many years, a process that has been vastly accelerated by

Bitcoin Touches $12,000 While Gold Continues Its Rally

Of the many things that happened over the weekend, perhaps the most significant was the announcement from Warren Buffett that he’s now investing in gold and gold-related assets. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and this is a huge shift in investment principals for the Oracle of Omaha. Long contending that gold is not a worthwhile asset to invest in, Warren is now very abruptly seeing the appeal. Why? … You know why. This is about money printing. The printer is working overtime, and this is

The calls for an audit of the Ethereum blockchain have been growing, particularly from the bitcoin maximalists, who have long felt that bitcoin needs no counterparts in the crypto realm, nor should there be any competition for the throne. The issue arose after some posted a simple question, asking how many ETH there are in the

A $15K Bitcoin Likely As Price Breaks Above “Multi-Year Bullish Triangle”

Bitcoin expects to hit a $15,000 valuation in the coming sessions, says full-time futures trader Adam Mancini. The Twitterati stated earlier Monday that BTC/USD closed above a “multi-year bullish triangle” by almost $2,000.

Mr. Mancini said Bitcoin could extend its upside towards $24,000, as well. “[The cryptocurrency] may be the new kid on the block but the same old classic patterns that apply to all financial assets still apply,” he tweeted.

Wall Street Veteran Explains Why He’s “Irresponsibly” Long on Bitcoin

Bitcoin has gained steam over recent weeks, hitting $12,200 last weekend as buyers rushed in. Analysts say that the cryptocurrency market has room to move higher due to technicals.

He told his Twitter following on August 6th that he’s “irresponsibly long” on Bitcoin due to the fundamentals. This Ex-Goldman Sachs Exec Is “Irresponsibly” Long on Bitcoin For This Reason
